Revolutionary map expanding statewide internet access 6 days ago UGA’s Vinson Institute leads the way for Georgians to get connected Wide swaths of South Georgia lack access to high-speed internet service. But where are the most households lacking broadband access in the state? Fulton County. Thanks to a groundbreaking map — the first of its kind in the United States — community leaders and telecommunications companies in Georgia can now easily identify broadband dead zones down to a single address and expand access to those areas. “Approximately 10 percent of the population of Georgia is not served,” said Eric McRae, associate director of information technology outreach services at the University of Georgia’s Institute of Government, who oversaw the map’s creation. “That’s not too bad, or doesn’t seem like it is. But when you actually start thinking about it, that’s a million people that don’t have service.”
